- Forgeties79 4y agoSolar shingles are a relatively new consumer option I’ve seen deployed very effectively. Looks slick if done right and helps reduce/solve the problem you’re mentioning.
- joecool1029 4y ago>if done right My gut reaction is that it probably costs a ton more to install and wire solar shingles and is less efficient? Unless we're talking new commercial installs and not residential?

- Spooky23 4y agoGenerally speaking, yes. But as with all things, it depends.
- edent 4y agoThe large panels I recently had installed weighed less than 20Kg each. Much less than the weight of the slate tiles they replaced.
